L. II. White contributes nearly a coll
umn article to the Deadwood Pioneer
Of the 3rd inst. in reply to the Rapid
Republican and CHRONICLES criticism
upon his article appearing in the New
York Financial and Mining Record.
This wordy contribution to the Pioneer,
possibly intended to eradicate every
symptom of intention on his part to
blackmail the tin interests of the South
ern Hills, utterly fails to establish any
line Of defense whatever. TO the Re
publican he points out the divers and
sundry failures, which have followed
mining ventures in Pennington county,
Lawrence county failures not men
tioned) calls attention to the low
standard and positive worthlessness Of
that journal, upraids it for encouraging
frauds, etc, etc., ETC., all Of which might
have been more fifty and concisely
stated by the words, "you'r another"
To the CHRONICLE he says:
"To show its editor how ignorant l
am Of matters connected with the Har-
ney Peak company's movements in Lon
| don, / will ask him to step into my Office
| and look over some correspondence in
| reference thereto whenever he is in
| Deadwood."
Accepting the statement Of the Re-
publican, with reference to the current
rumor Of Mr.. White being in regular cor
repondence with Greenwood" Taylor
in London to be we'll founded, we can
only suggest, that any correspondence
he might submit to u consideration
from such a source, would be regarded
as unreliable, and insignificant in its
tendency to confirm the published state
ments of Mr.. w. with reference to the
Harvey Peak company and its proper
ties, as the empty and unassured state
ments of Mr.. White himself would be
should WI happen to u across them
in the columns of a London paper.

Reports Of rain from nearly every
section Of the territory indicate a fair
average crop. In many localities, as
was the case in the Hills, the rain came
in the nick of time, as the continued
drouth was showing its effects upon
small grain, and a few more DAYS Of dry
weather would have done serious injury
In some localities more rain is still
needed, but these places are the excep.
ton, as without it. in most places the
crops would be fully up to the average

Judge Thomas arrived in Rapid on
Monday the 4th inst, and convened
court on the day following. Doubts
being entertained as to the legality Of
the action of the Judge in adjourning
the court while in Kentucky, a petition
signed by several members Of the Rapid
bar was presented, asking that the term
be allowed TO elapse, but in consequence
Of the objections raised by certain at
torneys, and especially the district at
torney, the court declined TO grant the
request, but to avoid any possible
complication adjourned the term and
Immediately issued a call for a specia.
term to convene on Wednesday. Only
court cases were heard this week, as the
e jury will not be e~mpannelled be-
fore Monday, the 1lth. There is a
rumor of the Custer term being allowed
to lapse, on account of the approaching
term ofthe United States court in Dead
wood, but nothing definite is known

The gardens in many sections Of the
Hills and valleys are being devastated
by fleas. These pestiferous insects are
very small, but make up in number
what they lack in size. They are the
%implacable enemy ofthe cabbage, which
they devour with the avidity Of the
cormorant; they are also the deadly foe
Of the turnip and raddish, which they
destroy with the most surprising rapid
ity. Various means have been adopted
for their destruction without avail, but
it has been determined that they have
a decided aversion to smoke, and that
where this remedy has been properly
applied it has always been effective.

A deafening report in close proxiin-

from Miss Vanvarre, whose pallor had
given place to roseate flush. Taking
advantage of their preoccupation Tom

the raft of itnce poles which he was

Mr.. Browns narrow escape as brief

his outward composure in the least

Death Of Nathan Barnes.

Nathan Barnes, mention Of
whose serious illness was made in a
former issue of Tie Sentinel, died at
his home in this city Sunday morn
in. at nine o'clock.
The circumstances attending his
death were, We believe, as follows {:
Several nights of last week, Mr..
Barnes. though able TO be up and
around could not sleep, and Friday
afternoon sent to the drug store for
ten cents worth of NOR rhine. After
taking a dose, he retired and went
tc sleap- The next morning, his
wife kuo wing that lie had lost a
great deal Of sleep did not attempt
to arouse him. Later in The day
his true condition was discovered
and DR.. Campbell was called in
But it was then too late, ard des.
pite all the efforts of the physicians
TO arouse, he died Sunady morning.
MIR. Barnes was one of the oldest
and best known citizens In this city.
He was buried from the III Z.
Church at l o'clock Tuesday, the
remains being inferred in the Old
Cemetery.
Rev. Thomas, tho officiating min,
ister, has kindly furnished us with
an obituary notice that will be
found in another column.

The old saying, at is never too
late to mend,' is not always true.
There may be a tune in your
life when it is too late to mend. 1
dare say. and it is a sad :hing to
say, that there are old persons who
have become SO set in their ways,
that they will never change. no
never. As they are living, 90 will
they die, withou- GID and Wit hout
hope.
Ny friends, let rs oae and all
avoid the posi- bility of such q
death by an immediate and uncon
ditional surrender to Christ, who is
able to save to the utter most all
who come TO God By Him. Let US
live the life of the righteous, and
We shall die his death, and enter
into that ret that ren,aine!h unto
the people of God.

OBITUARY.
BY Rev. z. G. Thomas. osths ME-.
Church, Feb. CO, 1857.

Nathan r. Barnes was born in
the State Of Delaware, January
I7th, 1910. and died in Logau, O.,
February 20lb. 1887, aged II years
one mouth and three days. When
a by Of ten be came with his par
ents TO this State, and settled near
the town Of Rushvilie. 4 few wears
af'eward he WAS converted and be-
came o member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Nashville. In
1893 he WIS, married to Rachael
Turner, and three years afterward
or more than so years ago he came
TO Logan to live. Mrs. Barnes died
December 13, 1919, leaving FIVE
children TO the care of her bereav-
ed husband ; all OF whom have since
oinsi her in the spirit world.
on the 18th of October, 1858,
Mr. Barnes was united in marriage q
10 Mrs. Mary Anderson who sury,y-
es TO mourn her..loss.
Our aged brother was actively
identified with this church for
more than half century. Very
few, if any of The people who com.
posed the membership of the
Church at the the time of bis recep.
tIon, are living to day. A new gen
eration has como and gone since
then, and third has reached the
OF tho hill of life, and Is rap
IDLY disappearing adown its thither
side. 0! Time, how swiftly dost
thou fly awayI
Almost before they are aware OF
it, our boys are men, and our men
are old. What changes have been
wrought since az young man, Mr..
Barnes came TO Logan. Our Church
then one of many weak societies
struggling to maintain 4 circuit Or
ganization, is now strong station
Wandering more than 800 commu-
nicants.
In the death of Mr.. Barnes, our
church lost one of It's oldest and
mcst respected members, and the
city one ofits best and most honor
ed citizens. lie was good man,
full of faith and the Holy Ghost.
On all the great moral questions
upon which public sentiment has
been divided, he was always, and
conscientiously on the right side.
His last vote, cast at the recent ell
ection, was for Local Option, a vote
of which he will not be ashamed |
when he stands before the King.
During his last illness, and not
long before he died, he told me that
he was ready to depart and be with
Jesus that he had no fear of death;
that he had unbounded confidence
N the saving grace of his blessed
Lord. He rejoiced in the fact that
he became a christian in the days
IF his youth, and that all along
hroughilife, the Savior has been his
,uide aud God. |
My young friends give to this
ame Jesus, the warmest affections
# your young hearts, and let him
,e to you whit be IVES to father
Barnes. And to you who have al
owed the years of childhood and
.uuth, and even middle life to pass
way unlmproved, let me say, Lin
,er no longer but without a mo-
nent's delay, begin the new life of
'eace and holiness.
